Having only recently completed the build, this is a brand new property, and while the neighbouring properties complete construction, Robin's Retreat is only available for weekend bookings (2 and 3 nights). With limited availability and at a discounted price book now and ensure you don't miss out!
Christmas week 2023 is now also available for a 7-night stay from Friday 22nd December.
Minety Lake is the newest addition to Lower Mill and Habitat Escapes! As such, there are still properties and areas around the lake and wider estate that is undergoing final elements of construction, so whilst this property is fully completed, you will see construction, machinery, and workers around the property between 0730 and 1800, Monday to Friday and 0800 to 1300, Saturday. Please abide by any signage relating to construction areas. Please review the above images to make sure you are aware of the surrounding construction of Minety Lake 55 prior to booking. The pricing of the property has been reduced to reflect the neighbouring construction. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Habitat Escapes Team.
